The system for early voting should be reviewed. If maintained, the same safeguards as on election day should apply, including the requirement for the PEC to be in quorum. Authorities could consider having a single protocol containing daily information, including the number of voters on the voter list, which would remain on public display in the polling station throughout early voting and until the end of the count.
